While everybody is aware and eagerly waiting for Ajay Devgn's Maidaan, which chronicles the golden years of Indian football after Independence, here's another film in the making based on the country's football scene after 1947. Actor Mukul Dev, who was Devgn's co-star in Son of Sardaar, will be seen in Barefoot Warrior, a film that celebrates the unsung heroes of the sport as well as the Indian team that played at the 1948 London Olympics barefoot.
Mukul Dev told IANS, "It's a very exciting project. Football has been a constant love since I was a kid. It's like a journey back to those times. India has a glorious footballing past and it's about those heroes who made it happen despite all odds and even to the extent that they didn't even have shoes to play football. It's a great story waiting to be told on celluloid. We can't wait for it to come to the audience."
